Safety Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when unsafe conditions exist or when potentially hazardous
voltages are present:
●
Always use caution and common sense.
●
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not operate equipment with the cover
removed.
●
Repairs must be performed by qualified service personnel only.
Antistatic Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) results from the buildup of static electricity and can cause
computer components to fail. Electrostatic discharge occurs when a person whose body
contains a static buildup touches a computer component.
The equipment contains static-sensitive devices that may be easily damaged, and proper
handling and grounding is essential. Use ESD precautionary measures when installing
systems or cards, and keep the parts and cards in antistatic packaging when not in use. If
possible, use antistatic floorpads and workbench pads.
Improper handling and/or installation practices may VOID the warranty.
CAUTION
When handling components, or when setting switch options, always use an
antistatic wrist strap connected to a grounded equipment frame or chassis.
If a wrist strap
is not available, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the equipment.
Never
use a conductive tool, such as a screwdriver or a paper clip, to set switches.
Fan Blade
Do not touch or push the fan blade with fingers or other objects. Doing so may damage the
fan and/or fan bearings, which can result in a noise problem as well as accelerated failure
of the mechanical part.
